Débutantes - BR

It’s 1923 and London is a whirl of jazz, dancing and parties. Violet, Daisy, Poppy and Rose Derrington are desperate to be part of it, but stuck in an enormous crumbling house in the country, with no money and no fashionable dresses, the excitement seems a lifetime away.

Luckily the girls each have a plan for escaping their humdrum country life: Rose wants to be a novelist, Poppy a jazz musician and Daisy a famous film director. Violet, however, has only one ambition: to become the perfect Debutante, so that she can go to London and catch the eye of Prince George, the most eligible bachelor in the country.

But a house as big and old as Beech Grove Manor hides many secrets, and Daisy is about to uncover one so huge it could ruin all their plans—ruin everything—forever.Cora Harrison has once again sucked me into the past with the worlds she creates in her novels. It was a stunning read, the writing was brilliant and the detail and fact were flawless!An enjoyable delightful story, the characters were engaging and I soon was enthralled with them! My only niggle was that it seemed a little young for me but that's not really a problem, just I know who to recommend it too! Brilliant read!JB xxx

About Me

I'm a teenager from Yorkshire, who loves reading, music, films and talking. So here's a great way of talking about what I love! I will be taking the ideas from some fellow bloggers and doing a In My Mailbox post, blogging about the most recent films I've seen, books I've read and music I've listened to...alongside writing posts about what I want to read/watch/listen to in the future :-)
